When Ming and her brothers arrived at the lair, Splinter was waiting. "It is all over the police scanners! They are hunting you! What happened up there?!"

Leo growled. "Tell him Raph! Tell him how you got us exposed!" He grabbed the vial of purple ooze out of Raph's grasp. "For the most selfish reason!"

Raph snarled. "The Foot were gonna get their hands on it!"

"You didn't know that!"

Blocking out the arguing, Ming turned to Mikey, who sat down slowly. "Should've seen the looks on their faces." He muttered to Splinter. "They weren't just scared... There was actual... hate."

"It's okay, Mikey." Ming put her arm around her brother's shoulder. "People are stupid."

"They fear what they do not understand." Splinter added, then went after Leo. Ming followed to eavesdrop.

"You can't walk away from this!" Master Splinter stopped Leo. The blue clad turtle growled.

"I told him, Father. But Raphael never hears what I have to say. Now, I knew they couldn't handle the truth about the purple ooze, and you know what? They proved me right."

"Leonardo-"

"I don't know what to do!" Leo continued his rant. "Raph's brain is in his biceps, Donnie's nose is in his computer, Mikey's head's in the clouds and Ming-" He stopped for a breath. "I can't get them on the same page. To think with one mind."

Master Splinter shook his head. "You shouldn't want them to think the same. It's their different points of view that make the team strong. A good leader understands this. A good brother... accepts it."

Ming chose then to voice her opinion. "And not to lie, but you've been a pretty lousy brother lately."

Leo snarled at Ming, but before he could say anything, Donnie shouted from his computer. "Guys! I got something!"

Ming and Leo ran over, as Mikey and Raph also shambled to Donnie.

"The computer's pinpointed the isotopic signature of the purple ooze. I can track Bebop and Rocksteady's exact coordinates." Donnie explained, typing on his computer and turning a dial. Ming watched as the screen showed a map of Earth, and then showed a specific coordinates. "They're at 36 000 feet travelling at 490 knots."

"Woah!" Mikey gasped. "They've achieved the power of flight! Good for them, y'know?"

Everybody stopped for a second and stared at Mikey.

"They're on a plane, Mikey." Donnie sighed.

"Oh..."

"Looks like our mutant buddies are headed to Brazil."

"How do we get there?" Leo asked.

"Sneak onto a cargo plane." Ming shrugged. "I mean, it shouldn't be too hard."

A few hours later, the cargo plane they had boarded was halfway to Brazil. The heat of the day was starting to get to the turtles. Somehow, Ming seemed immune to the sweltering heat.

Mikey wiped his forhead. "Isn't there supposed to be pretty girls handing out warm handtowels or something?" He complained.

"Not down here, Mikey." Raph replied, playing with a rubber ball. "Not for us."

Ming groaned. "Ugh, I should have brought a DS or something... This is so boring."

"It would have melted." Mikey joked, as Ming started rummaging through some cargo, looking for something to entertain herself with.

"That doesn't belong to you." Leo objected pointlessly as Ming pulled a little had puppet from a crate.

"I don't care, Leo, I do what I want." Ming gave the puppet a squeaky voice.

"Oh boy! Guys, Bebop and Rocksteady are en route back to New York!" Donnie stood up, his holographic screen showing the planes from a satellite view.

"Looks like our plane's gonna cross over their's right?" Leo pointed.

"Yeah... with a 3000 foot separation. Uhh... I can plot a course for intercept, but we'd have to jump." Donnie replied.

"Jump?" Raph repeated.

Donnie opened the door to the cargo hatch. They looked down. Ming whimpered. Jumping would be super dangerous. If they accidentally hit the engine or an important, delicate part of the outer shell of the plane, they'd be dead. If they missed entirely, there was no telling where they would land or if they'd ever be able to meet up again.

The guys didn't seem to see the dangers at play here... Except Raph, who looked just as scared as Ming.

"Guys, I don't know if this is such a good plan!" He objected.

Mikey smirked. "Aw come on. Don't go getting soft on me now, Raph. This is gonna be fun!"

Leo started helping Raph get a parachute on. Donnie looked at his screen, then knelt down and put his funny goggle-like head piece over his eyes to check out the plane. Ming couldn't tear her eyes away from the long drop below. This was not how she wanted to die.

"We gotta go now, we only got a thirty second window. You know the plan." And with that, Donnie disappeared out the side of the plane.

"Uh, guys? He jumped." Mikey reported.

"HE JUMPED?!"

"Well, one for all!" Leo headed to the door.

"Leo, wait!" Ming gasped.

"You don't have a chute!" Raph objected.

Leo jumped, regardless, ignoring them.

"Shit, shit, shit..." Ming whimpered.

Mikey grabbed his board from his shell. "I don't need a chute, I got my board!"

"MIKEY!" Ming gasped. "Shit... Shit- I can't do this!"

Raph took several deep breaths. They watched as Donnie safely landed on the plane and wrapped a safety cable around the outside of the plane. Leo and Mikey landed at the same time. Ming winced as Mikey almost fell from the side of the plane.

"Ah... W-what would Vin Diesel do?" Raph was talking to himself now. "No regrets, no fear. No regrets, no fear... No regrest, no fear!" He leapt from the plane, none too gracefully. Ming just watched as he pulled his parachute to early and smacked into the plane window, then almost fell from the side of the plane. Leo caught him barely in time.

"I can't, I can't, I can't, I..." Ming whimpered, squeezing her eyes shut. She wished she was already on the plane... she wished she was already there...

Suddenly the force of the wind strengthened, almost instantly, and she felt her self falling backwards.

"SHIT!" Ming was thrown back into a hard wall. That wall wrapped an arm around her.

"Leo?"

How did I get to the other plane? Ming wondered. Had she blacked out or something? Had she jumped?

Leo swung in through a door of the plane, following Donnie, Raph and Mikey. Before anybody could really react to what had just happened, six ninjas noticed them.

"The good news is, you're wearing chutes." Raph told them.

"Chutes..." Mikey repeated.

"The bad news is..." Raph grabbed one and threw him out of the plane. The turtles followed suit, and then Donnie looked at Ming.

"How did you do that?" He asked.

"Do what?"

"One minute you were in the other plane, and the next there was a burst of fire, and then the fire disappeared and you were right in front of Leo falling backwards." Mikey replied. "Did you achieve the power of teleportation without telling me?!"

"I...g-guess? I don't remember jumping..."

"I thought that was impossible and dangerous?" Raph teased, hitting Ming's shoulder, as Donnie turned to a large crate. Leo and Raph helped break the crate away, revealing a purple machine thing.

"This must be what they came to Brazil for." Leo said. They kinda crouched around it, trying to get a better look at it.

"It's an interdimensional portal opening thing-a-ma-bob!" Mikey declared.

"Well there's probably a more technical name for it..." Donnie replied.

"Uhh... guys?" Raph spoke up.

Ming turned. A giant warthog and a bipedal rhinoceros were standing there, glaring at them.

"Dude!" Mikey grinned at the warthog. "Bringing back the mohawk! Good for you!"

"Oh, y'all got jokes huh?" The warthog snorted. "But lets see how funny you is, after we smash your heads in!"
